Unüberwindlich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE FRL
Hab' ich tausendmal geschworen
Dieser Flasche nicht zu trauen,
Bin ich doch wie neugeboren,
Läßt mein Schenke fern [sie]1 schauen.
Alles ist an ihr zu loben,
Glaskristall und Purpurwein;
Wird der Propf herausgehoben,
Sie ist leer und ich nicht mein.
Hab' ich tausendmal geschworen,
Dieser [Falschen]2 nicht zu trauen,
Und doch bin ich neugeboren,
Läßt sie sich ins Auge schauen.
Mag sie doch mit mir verfahren,
Wie's dem stärksten Mann geschah.
Deine Scher' in meinen Haaren,
Allerliebste Delila!

I vevi mil vòltis zuràt
Language: Friulian after the German (Deutsch)
I vevi mil vòltis zuràt
di no fidami pì di stu fiasc;
lo stes i mi sìnt coma rinovàt
cuant ch'i lu jòt da lontàn'n ta l'ostarìa.
Di chèl no si pòl diši altri che ben,
dal so veri di cristàt e dal so rosùt;
apen' ca ghi vèn gjavàt il tapòn,
èco lì cal è vuèit, e jò i no soj pì chèl.
I vevi mil vòltis zuràt
di no fidami pì di stu fiasc,
e èco chì ch'i mi sìnt rinovàt,
doma cul jòdilu davànt daj vuj.
Cal fedi pur cun me dut chèl
cal fà cul pì fuart daj òmis.
Li to fuàrfis in taj me cjaviej,
Oh la me biela Delila!
